'In November of 2018, I visited India for the second time that year after falling in love with the country the first time around. For this trip, I decided to explore seven new cities with my buddy Sam from Sam & Audrey. Subscribe to Sam & Audrey: https://www.youtube.com/user/BackpackingTravelTV Follow Anashwara: https://www.instagram.com/anashwara.m/ After an outstanding breakfast on my first morning in Bengaluru with our new friend Anashwara, our exploration of the city continued with sightseeing at some amazing local attractions and a spicy meal at a local restaurant! Come along with us as we explore the magnificent city of Bengaluru! My Film Making Kit ► https://kit.com/davidsbeenhere We started off at Bangalore Fort, a former mud fort that is now made of granite and dates back to 1537, when it was built by Kempe Gowda I during the Vijayanagara Empire. The fort played a role in the Third Mysore War when it was captured by the army of the British East India Company in March of 1791. Today, the fort’s Delhi gate and two bastions still remain, and a marble plaque commemorates the spot where the British breached the fort\'s wall. Inside the massive, foot-thick gates is a temple, a little statue of Nandi (a gate-guardian deity that is usually depicted as a bull), and beautiful carvings of different animals around a tiny doorway. Throughout the fort are massive walls built with giant blocks of stone and a garden. Unlike other Indian forts I’ve visited, Bangalore Fort is free, so go check it out! Before we headed over to Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace, we made a quick stop for some cold and refreshing sugarcane juice with lime. It was super sweet and the perfect way to beat the Bengaluru heat! Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace was built in 1791 and is a beautiful example of Indo-Islamic architecture. As the name suggests, it was the summer residence of Tipu Sultan, a Mysorean ruler who died in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War. The palace is built entirely of teak and boasts many pillars, arches, and balconies. There’s a huge terrace inside with balconies and walkways branching off of it, as well as multiple rooms below and a garden outside. The palace is gorgeous, but beware: the entry fee for foreigners is 300 rupees, compared to just 25 for locals. If you come to take photos, be sure to bring a lens that can capture in low light. Next, it was time for lunch at Shivaji Military Hotel, which is famous for its spicy non-veg dishes. Here, in order to get a seat, you just stand around and wait for someone to get up to leave! All patrons eat off of banana leaves, which you clean with water before you add your food. With eight different foods on our leaves, including mutton biryani, ghee rice, chicken biryani, cucumber salad, chicken fry, mutton dry, chilli chicken, and liver, I couldn’t wait to dive in! As is tradition in South India, I ate everything with my hands, starting with the mutton biryani, which contained huge, tender chunks of mutton. Next, I tried the liver, which was so buttery and tender, and then I added the gravy from it to the biryani. It was minty and earthy and oh so good! The mutton dry was fatty and had an unreal flavor and texture, while the chicken fry was so spicy it cleared my sinuses! The chilli chicken was also very hot, and mixing the ghee rice with the different sauces and meats was unbelievably good. It was so buttery! The milky cucumber salad helped calm down the heat. I also loved mixing the light and peppery biryani gravy with the rice. Without a doubt, my favorite dish was the liver. The sauce and spices took it to a whole new level!
